The Demon King Who Would Destroy the World and the Immortal Witch (5.3K)

However, CC did not answer. Instead, she came to him, sat in his lap, and deliberately grabbed his hands and placed them on her waist. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and curled up in his arms.

She's just like a spoiled little kitten.

At the same time, she gently exhaled into his ear.

"What an EQ-challenged brat! You're usually so smart, why can't you understand now? Leila really likes you."

"You like me?"

Mahiro looked at the woman in his arms with some suspicion.

He had considered this possibility.

The problem is that he has only met Leila twice so far, and today is the first time they have spoken face-to-face.

Although he considered himself quite charming, he wasn't some kind of succubus or walking hormone, and there was no way he could make someone wet and seduce someone just by saying a few words and his body trembling.

Even the young imperial uncle wouldn't dare write it like this.

Seeing his completely disbelieving look, which seemed to say, "You're definitely kidding me," CC couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Oh, you're such a silly little brat."

Chapter 313 The Demon King Who Destroyed the World and the Immortal Witch (5.3K)

Rumble--

Giant waves are crashing on the vast, boundless sea, and an island is slowly rising into the air.

That's right, it's taking off.

Like an iron fortress, the island, aided by a levitation system, ascended into the sky at a speed slower than a rocket, transforming into a complete aerial fortress.

That was Penglai Island, which had been transformed by the combined efforts of everyone in the Shadow Garden, serving as the command center for this war.

The siege of Britannia was divided into five forces.

One is the Chinese Federation, headed by Li Xingke.

Secondly, there was the newly liberated Area 11, which was the Special Administrative Zone of Japan headed by Kallen.

Thirdly, there is the EU force led by Leila.

Fourthly, the Shadow Garden Numbered Ones are led by the war-monger Delta, with Beatrice and Victoria as their assistants.

Fifth, the technology force led by Epsilon, with Ita providing logistical support.

In addition, there is a secret force led by Zeta, with Beta and Gamma acting as strategists.

Alpha and Kaguya Sumeragi were stationed at the main base to ensure everything went smoothly.

This can be said to be the first time that the entire Shadow Garden has mobilized to fight a massive war that could change the world's landscape. Both the Numbered Ones and the Seven Shadows are secretly excited.

They are both peaceful and warlike. If Yotsuba Mahiro gives the order, they will carry it out unconditionally and without reservation, even if it means death.

Because their lives were given to them by Yotsuba Mahiro.

"They've set off."

On the metal platform of Penglai Island, Euphemia stood watching the several scattered troops gradually disappear into the distance.

"Sister, haven't you forgiven Mahiro- sensei yet?" Euphemia li Britannia asked softly to the person beside her.

That is, Cornelia.

But unlike a year ago, it no longer possesses the arrogance and heroism of [Black Rebellion].

His entire being exuded tranquility, a serene calmness as still as water.

Perhaps it was the change in her hairstyle, or perhaps it was the fact that her once vibrant purple lips had become a neutral color, that made her lose all her former allure and instead gain a touch of gentle, wifely grace.

It also gives the impression of someone recovering from a serious illness.

However, when faced with her sister's question, Cornelia pursed her lips and murmured softly:

"Forgive me...?"

To be honest, she didn't even know what she was really thinking.

Whether she forgave him or not, she herself was unsure, but the hatred had long since vanished, because all she cared about was Euphemia.

Alpha also revealed that Euphemia faked her death to escape Schneizel's schemes, and that she had already let go of the past in her heart.

As one of the heirs with real power, and having studied under Yotsuba Mahiro, how could she not know Schneizel's little tricks?

Rather, she feels more at ease and comfortable with her current life.

Not to mention, she also knew that she was originally supposed to be one of the combatants, or even one of the team leaders, in this operation.

However, when Alpha made the suggestion, her teacher Mahiro, rejected it.

The reason given was that they didn't want her to turn against her former motherland, her former comrades-in-arms, or even her own siblings, as that would be too cruel.

This touched Cornelia even more; having been through countless battles, it was the first time she had experienced being cherished and protected.

This is why she is even more unsure how to face the teacher she once deeply loved.

I just don't know how to face the teacher I once deeply loved...

As the younger sister, Euphemia naturally understood what her older sister was thinking, so she didn't say anything and just quietly stayed by her side.

They let the strong wind blow their hair and lift their skirts.

It's like a beautiful sight.

They only returned indoors after Nina ran over to inform them that Penglai Island was about to be relocated.

Meanwhile, in the main command center.

"Huh? Where's my husband? Why isn't he here?"

Kaguya Sumeragi sat in the vice-commander's seat, looking around with curiosity. She even checked the rear passage many times. After confirming that Yotsuba Mahiro was not there, she asked the woman next to her.

On the other side of the woman was Nunnally, with long, wavy brown hair.

"He has other important things to do, and I'm in charge of managing these trivial matters."

A cool, clear voice slowly escaped Alpha's lips.

Today, she wore a black dress that exposed her bare shoulders, and sitting upright in the command position, she looked like a noble and gorgeous queen.

However, when faced with Kaguya Sumeragi's question, she only glanced at it slightly with her narrow eyes before turning her gaze back to the floating screen in front of her.

He answered her question without even turning his head.

Kaguya Sumeragi was a little disheartened. This was supposed to be the beginning of the defeat of Britannia, and she wished she could witness it all with her beloved.

But she was also curious: what could be more important than defeating Britannia?

That's naturally about Geass.

Through investigation, Mahiro has learned the location of the Twilight Gate ruins within the Chinese Federation, besides Kamine Island in Japan.

So, his absence this time was to take CC with him to resolve this final problem.

"Long time no see, VV."

Deep beneath a ruin, CC, who had been missing for a long time, wore a black cheongsam and strode through the chaotic underground cavern. Directly in front of her stood a massive stone gate, the 'Twilight Gate,' the only way to enter the Akasha System.

However, CC did not head towards the 'Twilight Gate', but instead went to a corner of the underground pit.

There, a boy with long blond hair leaned weakly against a rock, smiling as CC approached.

"How long has it been since we met face-to-face like this? I never thought I wouldn't be able to escape my fate in the end..."

"Fate... I will... accept... the fate of immortality..."

VV sat there, blood slowly flowing from her, her face drained of color, yet she gave answers that were completely irrelevant to the question.

CC's gaze remained fixed on VV, showing no mercy or pity, calmly watching the life gradually fade away.

CC knew very well that the frail, dying boy was the brother of Charles the Britannia Emperor, but she also knew that his code had been taken from him and that he was about to fulfill her wish—death!

But CC remained completely unmoved.

She didn't know why she was like this; perhaps the long years had worn away all her emotions.

But VV seemed to have something unfinished. Even covered in blood, she mustered all her strength and tremblingly reached out to CC.

It's as if they're trying to grasp at a vague and uncertain future.

"Why... Charles... I'm clearly... the older brother... I would never... harm you..."

"It was a promise... we... to create... a world... without lies..."

Snap!

Just as VV was about to touch CC's skirt, his hand was suddenly kicked away, sending him rolling a long way on the ground until he crashed into the steps of the 'Twilight Gate' and came to a stop.

Despite the pain, VV managed to sit up and finally saw who it was.

It was a young man who walked out from behind CC, a man he knew very well.

"It's you... it's you again... Yotsuba Mahiro... it's you again, you outsider... cough!"

Seemingly overwhelmed with anger, her previously weak and pale face contorted into a ferocious expression, and in her extreme distress, she coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Yeah, it's me again. But you're really hard to kill. Last time, Delta couldn't even take you down, let alone kill you with a bomb."

He was referring to the Black Rebellion a year ago, when he had specifically arranged for many people to protect Nunnally, with the aim of dealing with VV.

It's unbelievable that he survived even after the antimatter bombs made from Sakuradite and uranium had obliterated all his ashes.

Too.

The purpose of CODE is to extract a spare body from the C's World for use; physical exorcism alone is simply not enough.

He truly deserves the title of legendary durability king.

"Alright, weren't you just asking why the curly-haired guy attacked you? I can answer that question for you."

Mahiro forward, looking down at VV with a condescending air, his eyes filled with pity.

VV naturally couldn't stand his gaze, but now he was completely exhausted, like a candle flickering in the wind, unable to utter a word.

So, Mahiro took this opportunity to speak to himself:

"The reason is actually quite simple: you lied to the curly-haired guy."

This story goes back to Marianne. Marianne was of commoner origin, but she was given the name "The Shining One" because of her outstanding military talent, and she was knighted at the young age of 17.

It was precisely because of this talent and her unwavering loyalty that she became Charles's princess, and besides VV, she was the person closest to Charles.

This also became the starting point for the rift between Charles and his brother VV.

Because VV loved her younger brother the most, but seeing Marianne become Charles's princess, witnessing the love being taken away, and seeing that Charles no longer confided in her about many things, VV felt a little jealousy and resentment.

It was this resentment that made VV realize that Marianne was not a good person, like Pandora's box, only bringing disaster and sowing discord between the brothers.

So, on a Black Wind and stormy night, VV lured Marianne out under the pretext of discussing "Ragnarok" and killed her. He then staged a terrorist attack, resulting in Nunnally's legs being crippled.

VV thought he had done everything perfectly, but he didn't expect that Marianne would possess Geass and be a contractor of C. C., which is why Charles learned the truth.

After enduring this hatred for more than a decade, the great revenge has finally been taken.

"So... that's how it is..."

After listening to his story, VV did not show the resentment he expected; instead, his expression was somewhat relieved.

Even upon learning that Charles resented his brother, VV merely smiled shyly and said:

"It's okay, because... I'm the older brother."

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

Seeing VV's expression, Mahiro simply sighed coldly and said:

"What a touching brotherhood."

"The Nihility"

With a flash of light, VV's corpse vanished instantly, turning into dust that drifted in the air. The only proof that he had ever existed was his Geass Order robe.

"Let's go."
